The Prodigal Son. After more than a decade away, he returned to set up shop as the town's pawnbroker and unofficial dealer of "stuff", whether that's unwanted gear, obscure books, or information. Researcher, maker of deals, lender of money, man of mystery. When someone needs to buy or sell something, get that hard-to-find item, or get the answer to a weird question, he's often the go-to guy.
